Music carries ‘Something Rotten’

Published by admin on Thu, 08/18/2022 - 9:45am

Driving through Custer State Park to the Playhouse Aug. 10, I was behind a few other vehicles also on their way to see the opening matinee of “Something Rotten.” It was not a sold-out show and they were still welcoming walk-ins. The Playhouse’s snack shack was especially a respite as I’d skipped lunch and thankfully the snacks are allowed inside the newly air conditioned theater.
